1. Business activity and general conditions

1.1. General economic conditions The first half of 2008 was marked by rising oil prices. Whereas the price increase in the first three months amounted to 11.1 %, the second quarter saw an oil price increase of 33.7 %. This was accompanied by higher prices, in particular for other raw materials and food, which were reflected by a rise in inflation for consumers. According to provisional fig-ures, inflation in the Eurozone during the period under review was at 3.7 %, but with an upward trend. For the first time since May 1992, inflation of the harmonised consumer price index for the Eurozone saw a 4 as the first figure – a premiere in the ten-year long history of the European Central Bank. The expected inflation in the Eurozone for 2008 is also now considerably above the ECB reference mark of 2 %, at 2.9 %. The Central Bank could therefore not avoid raising the key interest rate by a further 25 base points, effective from 9 July 2008. This rate had remained constant for over a year.

Even more noticeable increases in expected inflation have been reported from the USA (3.5 %) and Asia (3.9 %). Due to the ongoing banking crisis, which is affecting the US market in particular, as well as the poor economic situation, the recent relaxed monetary policy of the USA is unlikely to change.

In the meantime, the real economy is also beginning to show noticeable signs of an economic slowdown. This applies to Europe as well as the USA and the Asian region, and can be seen in the continued decline of all important stock market indices. However, Germany and Luxembourg are enjoying sustained growth in employ-ment and thus are continuing to cut the unemployment figures.

1.2. Branch-specific conditions The general conditions on the money and capital markets continued to be difficult in the first half of 2008. The mistrust among the market participants remains; this can be felt particularly in the money market. Although the central banks have made additional tender facilities available through joint actions, this has not led to a significant relaxation of the money markets over longer terms (3 months or more).

Some spreads in the individual asset classes have expanded considerably, caused by the downgrade risk of ratings due to the troubled economic situation, but also due to the increasing pressure of offers from market participants who want or have to reduce their overall banking risk as a result of their own position in terms of equity capital.

The financial situation of public authorities has also deteriorated in the first half of 2008, with only a few exceptions. Due to declining rates of growth, the tax income of many European countries and the USA has declined. The repercussions of the crisis on the finan-cial markets will continue to have a negative impact on public finances over the course of the remainder of the year. This will lead to additional borrowing on the capi-tal markets, which will affect the spreads respectively.

A noticeable cooling of the economy can also be seen in countries outside of central Europe, with repercussions for the budgets of countries and communities.

The uncertainty on the money and capital markets has resulted in the fact that public bodies are increasingly borrowing through direct financing (budget financing). The financing of public projects within the framework of PPP transactions or using securitisation has been met with a more reserved approach.

1.3. Business conditions specific to the bank Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. reacted to the ongoing difficul-ties on the market by cutting back on new credit busi-ness and issues.

In the first half of 2008, the Bank concentrated on ensur-ing the availability of liquidity at any time. In this con-nection, Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. bene-fited from its good contacts on the interbank money market. In view of the high quality of its assets, the Bank was also in a position to satisfy the liquidity needs at any time within the framework of repurchase and tender transactions. Surplus liquidity was invested in the Group. The fact that Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. had set great stock in the past not only on the quality but also on the liquidity (Repo/ECB eligibility) of its assets paid off yet again.

Economic report

With the takeover of DEPFA Bank plc by the Hypo Real Estate Group in the summer of 2007, the area of public financing sharply gained in importance within the Group as a whole. This will also have repercussions on the business of Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. In the first half of 2008, the integration of HPBI into the DEPFA subgroup was advanced further. It is particu-larly worth mentioning the close cooperation in the areas of liquidity management and capital market financing.

As a result of the high quality of the cover pool, public Pfandbriefe (lettres de gage publiques) of Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. continue to be rated AAA by the rating agency Standard & Poors. This rating was con-firmed in April 2008. The counterparty rating for Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. was lowered by Standard & Poors to A (from A+) in July 2008 with a stable outlook. The short-term rating remained at A-1 with a stable outlook.

By transferring the business activities of the Hypo Public Finance Bank to DEPFA Bank plc as from 31 March 2008, DEPFA Bank plc became the sole share-holder. Hypo Pfandbrief Bank received a comprehensive guarantee from DEPFA Bank plc on 1 April 2008.

2. Economic report

So far in 2008, the Board of Directors of Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. held one meeting and used two circular resolutions to discuss and decide on matters for which there is a reporting obligation under the Bank’s Articles of Association and rules of procedure. This concerned in particular the approval of the 2007 annual accounts.

In the annual general meeting on 26 March 2008, Mr Bo Heide-Ottosen, Mrs Julia Hoggett and Mr Jim Ryan were appointed as new members of the Board of Directors. They succeeded Dr. Robert Grassinger, Mrs Heather Nesbitt, Mrs Orla Nicholson, Mr James Campbell and Mr Michael Schultheiss as members of the Board. Mr Hagen Schmidt and Mr Klaus Söllner were con-firmed as members of the Board. Assigning new posi-tions in the Board of Directors was an important step as part of the integration into the DEPFA subgroup. Mr Bo Heide-Ottosen was appointed chairman of the Board by the members of the Board of Directors.

The implementation of the new reporting regulations (FinRep/ CoReP) was a particular challenge for the first half of 2008. The bank was able to fulfil and complete all reportings and requirements on time and in the required format.

2.1. Development of the earnings position In the period under review, Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. continued to show a positive development of results, realising an after-tax profit of E 4.4 million, thereby exceeding the result in the same period of the previous year (E 3.2 million) by 37.9 %.

An efficient liquidity management enabled the net inter-est income to be increased by 10.9 % compared to the previous year. The administrative expenses are at the same level as during the same period in the previous year (-1.1 %). The cost-income ratio was further reduced to 26.8 % (32.9 % in the previous year).

2.2. Development of the assets situation The balance sheet total for Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A., as at 30 June 2008, amounted to E 10,194 million, compared with E 10,739 million as at 31 December 2007.

Loans and advances, including securities, amount to E 9,111 million. This represents a decrease of 5.7 % com-pared to 31 December 2007 (E 9,666 million).

In the period under review, the Bank did not acquire nor dispose of securities or bonds. The decline is merely due to maturities. Derivative financial instruments were only used to hedge against risks arising out of market changes.

All securities of third-party issuers are assigned to the investment portfolio, where they are valued in accord-ance with the mitigated lowest-value principle. Value adjustments on account of foreseeable persistent declines in value did not have to be made. As at 30 June 2008, for securities in the investment portfolio with a book value of E 4,610 million, lower market values amounting to E 4,384 million existed. Of these value differences, E 132 million was attributable to changes in credit spreads. The remaining differences in value were covered by opposite interest rate derivatives positions.

In principle, market prices were used to value the secu-rities. In the case of securities for which no active mar-ket was available (E 1,206 million), the prices were derived from comparable actively traded securities.

2.3. Development of the financial situation The capital structure of Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. continued to be solid as at 30 June 2008; all current com-mitments can be met. The liabilities also exhibit a bal-anced maturity structure.

The refinancing capital amounts to E 9,808 million. This is a 4.8 % reduction compared to the previous year’s end (E 10,303 million).

Covered bearer and registered public sector Pfandbriefe (lettres de gage publiques) as well as subordinated funds were not issued in the first half of this year.

During the period under review, four issued Pfandbriefe for a nominal E 421.2 million (E 444 million in the same period of the previous year) matured. A bearer Pfand-brief (volume of E 15.0 million) was repurchased before term and destroyed.

The limit of the commercial paper programme was uti-lised mid-year with E 10 million (previous year’s end E 45 million). There was one new issue in EUR.

Balance sheet own capital as at 30 June 2008 came to E 114.0 million compared with E 106.7 million at the end of the previous year.

Banking supervisory data Also from the point of view of banking supervisory law, Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. showed a solid own capital endow-ment as at 30 June 2008. Eligible own capital (according to the new reporting regulations – CoREP) declined due to the increase in negative revaluation reserves from E 136.4 million (as at 31 December 2007) to E 128.6 mil-lion. The own-capital ratio (minimum 8%) stood at 14.9 % mid-year 2008; the core capital ratio was 11.0 %.

Liquidity Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. has at all times complied with the liquidity principles laid down by supervisory law. The relevant ratio is between the assets declared to be liquid and outstanding liabili-ties. Liquidity is deemed to be sufficient if the outstand-ing liabilities are covered by assets to the extent of at least 30%. For the Bank, this ratio stood at 41.9 % at the reporting date (previous year 40.7 %).

Risk report

3. Risk report

3.1. Organisation, responsibilities and tasks As a member of the Hypo Real Estate Group, Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. is integrated into the methods/proc-esses of the Group’s risk identification, measurement, limitation, control and management. In this context and that of local rules, the Bank monitors risks independ-ently. In that regard, major tasks lie with the risk control unit. This unit, which reports directly to a member of the management who is independent of portfolio and risk management, has kept pace with the Bank’s growth and further developed the risk measurement and con-trol systems accordingly in response to the constantly changing internal and external requirements. The main functions of this unit are:

n day-to-day risk measurement and monitoring of mar-ket, credit, counterparty, foreign exchange and liquid-ity risks, largely on the basis of the value-at-risk approach,

n daily determination of economic performance,n independent monitoring of the parameters used to

measure risk and performance,n refinement and implementation of the control con-

cepts

The continual improvements made to the measurement and control systems and the integration into the risk control system of DEPFA Bank plc and the Hypo Real Estate Group mean that the Bank has a high-perform-ance risk control.

In order to monitor and control individual risks, the Bank has set out corresponding report channels and control measures by which, not only the Bank’s Man-agement and Board of Directors, but also other levels of the Hypo Real Estate Group, are informed.

3.2. Risk measurement, control and management with respect to major types of risk in Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. 3.2.1. Address risks Address risks may be broken down into credit, counterparty, issuer and country risks and refer in each case to the potential loss of value which may arise in the event of the default or a decrease in

creditworthiness of borrowers, issuers of loans evi-denced by promissory notes and securities or counter-parties to money-market, securities and derivatives transactions.

The Bank’s exposure to credit risks is almost completely restricted to public-sector borrowers and banks in OECD countries. The utilisation of all credit lines is available for each individual counterparty, and also in aggregated form, online on a market-value basis.

The credit portfolio as at 30 June 2008 can be broken down as follows:

In the case of organisational measures and the func-tional separation of credit processes, not only is compli-ance with the legal conditions in Luxembourg ensured, but also the Bank, as a member of the Hypo Real Estate Group, acts in accordance with the German minimum requirements for risk management (MaRisk).

Counterparty risks designate possible losses in value of interest-rate and foreign-currency based derivatives and futures. Such transactions are concluded predominant-ly in order to hedge positions in the context of assets/liabilities management. The yardstick for counterparty risks used throughout the Group is a value-at-risk approach based on a market-valuation method using potential future replacement costs. Counterparty risks in derivatives, securities and money-market transac-tions exist with credit institutions, central banks and supranational institutions whose creditworthiness is to be regarded as above average according to the assess-ment of external rating agencies and in-house rating procedures. In order to reduce derivatives-based coun-terparty risks, the Bank uses framework contracts with its business partners which enable the contracts cov-ered by the framework contract to be set against a net claim in the event that the counterparty does not fulfil its obligations (so-called close-out netting). In order to reduce the risk further, where appropriate, security agreements are concluded which may lead to the termi-nation of transactions in the event that the counterparty does not comply with a request to provide security.

The Hypo Real Estate Group designates as country risk the risk of potential transfer and conversion problems with contracting parties based abroad. The risk consists in the possibility that a debtor which is in principle solvent and willing to pay will not be able to fulfil its payment obligations because it is not in a position to procure foreign exchange or to transfer assets to non-residents on account of state measures. Country risks are constantly monitored by risk control. Management of country risks by credit-risk management is carried out on the basis of country limits. Depending on the results of the in-house rating process of the Hypo Real Estate Group

n each individual country and

n groups of countries in specific rating corridorsare assigned limits restricting business activities. All country ratings and country limits are checked at least once a year by the Hypo Real Estate Group’s Risk Man-agement Committee. In addition, in-house risk assess-ments are regularly checked against the assessments of the major rating agencies.

3.2.2. Market risk By market risk is meant the potential loss which may arise due to changing prices on finan-cial markets as a result of altered market risk factors (namely interest, foreign exchange rates, volatilities). In this connection, as in the case of all banks belonging to the Hypo Real Estate Group, total lending business, all own issues, the securities making up the investment and liquidity provision holdings and all transactions in derivatives are taken into account.

In this context, a distinction is made between general and specific interest rate risks (spread risks). The former measure the possible changes in the present value of positions in the event of shifts in the risk-free interest curve (swap curve). The measurement of spread risks takes account of possible changes in present value in the event that the credit spreads factored in the prices of securities and derivatives alter.

At Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A., as in all banks belonging to the Hypo Real Estate Group, cur-rency risks are hedged as extensively as possible and therefore are present only to a slight extent.

For the purposes of the day-to-day quantification of market risk, Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. uses value-at-risk approaches. These determine a poten-tial loss assuming a 10-day holding period of the posi-tion and a 99 % level of confidence. The period of con-sideration of historical data is 250 trading days. The value-at-risk is determined daily by local risk control and reported to Management, the Board of Directors and competent authorities of the Hypo Real Estate Group. With this system, the Bank is in a position at any time to manage the consequences of potential market fluctua-tions, in a timely manner and efficiently. The exposure to general interest rate risks was E 1.8 million as at 30 June 2008 and E 0.1 million for general currency risks, and thus on the same level as in the previous

Interim Management ReportRisk report

year.Risk measurement systems for credit spreads exist for all relevant positions in the Hypo Real Estate Group and are being continually improved and unified. The increased volatility of the spreads has caused the corre-sponding value at risk figure to strongly expand, although the structures and assets do not show any significant changes. However, as HPBI’s business model generally holds positions until maturity (particularly for cover funds), this risk indicator only has limited significance.

The day-to-day determination, limitation and reporting of the value at risk and the present actual value changes are supplemented by regular stress testing. While the value-at risk measures the market risk for “normal” market fluctuations, the simulation of stress scenarios can also measure the potential changes in present value for extreme and extraordinary market movements, so that, in such an event, the continued existence of the company can always be guaranteed. Even in such cir-cumstances, the measured market risk moved within the “normal limits”.

The CSSF circular 08/338 of 19 February 2008 is plan-ning a stress test for credit institutions and investment firms under Luxembourg law, to be carried out biannu-ally – with the first test date on 30 June 2008. The inter-est scenario which is to be applied corresponds to an increase / decrease of all interest rates by 200 base points. For Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A., the potential change in present value for general inter-est rate risks at the aforementioned interest rate increase was E -9.5 million and at the interest rate decrease E 10.8 million.

HPBI does not have any further market risks such as equity or inflation risks.

3.2.3. Liquidity risk The principal aim of controlling liquidity risks is to guarantee the Bank’s unrestricted solvency at any time. In accordance with the in-house limit system, foreseeable incoming and outgoing pay-ment flows and any liquidity-procuring measures, the so-called liquidity position, must be at least in balance at all times over the following five days. This position is determined daily on the basis of conservative precau-

tionary deductions (“haircuts”), monitored by risk con-trol and reported to Management and the group author-ities responsible for risk supervision. These criteria were complied with at all times. Furthermore, in order to be able to recognise short-term refinancing needs at an early stage, a liquidity preview extended to 90 days is produced independent of trading, which serves as the basis for active and foresighted liquidity policy. In addi-tion, every day a liquidity status is determined on the basis of a rolling thirty-day horizon and reported. This covers all future payment flows, together with the liquidity potential arising out of securities not used for cover, and enables precise liquidity control to be car-ried out.

Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. has connec-tions with a number of well-performing banks within and outside the Hypo Real Estate Group in order to meet short-term liquidity requirements.

3.2.4. Operational risk In the Hypo Real Estate Group, operational risk is defined as the danger of losses caused by erroneous in-house practices, human error, techno-logical failure or external events. This definition includes legal risks. Strategic risks, reputation risks and general transaction risks are not included.

Since all areas of the Group may be affected by opera-tional risks, the Group has implemented a framework complying with Basle II for the purpose of the uniform identification and control of such risks. The overarch-ing group-wide framework includes the group policy for understanding and proactively engaging with this type of risk, together with roles and responsibilities and/or processes and instruments.

Identification, analysis and management come under the responsibility of the individual sectors of the Bank. Operational risk events are therefore compiled decen-trally in the loss database in accordance with uniform group criteria. Hypo Pfandbrief International S.A. has not yet had such a case to report. In particular the decentralised assessment of key risk indicators is used to identify early indicators for potential sources of risk in the Group. In order to assess sector-specific opera-tional risks and possible management measures, techni-

cally supported risk self-assessment is used.4. Forecast report

4.1. General economic situation In light of the current mac-roeconomic situation – relatively high rates of inflation combined with distinct signs of an economic slow- down – the term stagflation is being used more common-ly again recently. This is problematic, as in such a situa-tion, monetary and fiscal policy has to decide whether to focus on combating inflation or stabilising the real econ-omy. This will be a trial for the consensus on economic or stabilizing policy in the Eurozone in particular.

Production is less energy consuming than in the nine-teen seventies, and so it could be expected that the most recent shock in oil prices could be better absorbed by the real economy. However, it is increasingly uncertain up to which energy price levels this robustness will be retained and particularly how high the prices are yet to go. Many areas have no option to switch to other energy sources in the short- or medium-term, and the potential for saving energy is limited.

Despite the expansive course of American monetary and fiscal policy, the International Monetary Fund is cur-rently only expecting real growth of 0.5 % for the USA in the current year – and thus a pronounced economic cooling off. The expected growth figures for the Euro-zone and Japan are slightly rosier at 1.4 %, but also con-siderably dampened compared to the two previous years.

4.2. Branch-specific situation The financial-market crisis which began in the summer of 2007 will accompany market participants still further into 2008. The decline in liquidity and the risk aversion of many market par-ticipants will lead to continuing persistence of spread volatility. This also affects the market for public financ-ing, although how pronounced it will be will depend on the borrower and the structure of the financing.

In addition, States’ need for funds will also increase in budget financing, since as a result of declining growth rates there is likely to be a tendency for public finances to deteriorate owing to falling tax receipts and possible expenditure on programmes for the stimulation of the

economy.

The trend for consolidation in the financial sector will continue to prevail and also have an effect on state financing. The trend towards larger providers with a comprehensive range of products and broad know-how base will continue.

4.3. Situation specific to the company Forecasts relating to the future development of Hypo Pfandbrief Bank Inter-national S.A. are estimates based on all the information that is currently available. Should the assumptions on which the forecasts are based be incorrect, or risks– as mentioned in the risk report – occur to a not calculated extent, the actual results could deviate from the results which are currently expected.

As a result of the takeover of DEPFA Bank plc by the Hypo Real Estate Group in 2007, the public financing sector within the Group has been massively extended. This will be reflected in the business activities of Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. In this regard, the Bank will pay particular attention to the manifold oppor-tunities afforded by the Luxembourg law on Pfandbriefe. In particular, the upcoming new law will open up new business opportunities for Hypo Pfandbrief Bank Inter-national S.A. The Bank intends to take advantage of these possibilities within the Group and as a member of the DEPFA sub-group.

After the crisis on the capital and financing markets con-tinued and in some cases worsened in the first half of 2008, it continues to be impossible to reliably assess the short term general conditions of the markets. The inter-national financing markets remain fragile and in some areas only with limited functionality, if any. Against this background, further strain on the credit economy – and therefore also for Hypo Pfandbrief Bank Interna-tional S.A. – cannot be ruled out for the coming quarters.

However, due to its business model, Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. is principally expecting a satis-factory result for the year 2008, on the same level if not above the result of the previous year, with an interest rate result above the previous year and a continuation of the constant low cost ratio.

19Report on Review of Interim Financial Information Assurance from the legal representatives

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of the Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. (“the Bank”), as at 30 June 2008, the related condensed state-ments of income for the six months period then ended, a condensed explanatory notes (the “interim financial information”), and an interim management report as at 30 June 2008. Board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information and on the management report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” as adopted by the Institut des Réviseurs d’Entreprises. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquir-ies, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information and the interim management report are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements.

Assurance from the legal representatives To the best of our knowledge, we confirm that the half-yearly accounts give an accurate representation of the true asset, finan-cial and earnings situation of the company, according to the accounting principles for interim reports. The inter-im management report presents the business develop-ment, including the result and the situation of the com-pany, in a way which conveys an accurate picture of the actual circumstances and describes the significant opportunities and risks of the anticipated development of the company during the course of the remainder of the financial year.

1. General notes

Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. (HPBI) was founded on 27 July 1999 in Luxembourg under its origi-nal name of Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. (PBI). On 14 September 1999, a licence to operate the Bank as a mortgage credit bank (banque d’émission de lettres de gage) under Luxembourg law was issued by the Minister of Finance of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

The entry in the commercial register was made on 16 August 1999 under number 71104 (Section B). The legal basis for the operation of a mortgage credit bank is laid down in Articles 12-1 to 12-9 of the Law of 5 April 1993 on the financial sector (in its version in force at the time being).

The Bank was originally founded by Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG (HVB) and its German mortgage bank subsidiaries, each with equal shares in the capital, under a holding scheme.

Within the framework of the reorganisation of the HVB Group in 2003, HPBI became a subsidiary within the Hypo Real Estate Group. Since 31 March 2008, all shares in the Bank are held by DEPFA Bank plc, Dublin (DEPFA). The Bank's subscribed capital is fully paid-up.

Hypo Pfandbrief Bank International S.A. is integrated into the group accounts of Hypo Real Estate Holding AG, Munich, as well as into the subgroup accounts of DEPFA Bank plc, Dublin. The accounts are available at the reg-istered offices of the respective companies.

2. Balance-sheet and valuation methods

The Bank's interim accounts as at 30 June 2008 have been drawn up in compliance with the rules in force in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in particular the Law of 17 June 1992 regarding the annual accounts and the

consolidated annual accounts of credit institutions (“the Law”). The balance sheet and valuation methods of the 2007 annual accounts were used.

3.5 Bonds and other fixed-interest securities (after deduction of value adjustments)

Bonds and other fixed-interest securities falling due within a year stand at E 655,474 k.

Bonds of a Member State of the European Union partici-pating in the euro which are eligible for refinancing with a Central Bank of the Eurozone stand at a nominal amount of E 4,668 million as at the balance-sheet date.

The “Bonds” holding breaks down as follows:

As at 30 June 2008, the accumulated amount of apporti-oned premiums stands at E 3,542 k accumulated appor-tioned discounts are shown as E 4,764 k. Repurchase

commitments under repurchase agreements stand as at 30 June 2008 at E 1,397,715 k whereas E 650,000 k has been earmarked for tender.

No value adjustment to the lower price value has been effected for securities in the financial assets with a book value of E 4,609,784 k (previous year: E 3,549,192 k) in respect of a market value of E 4,383,700 k (previous year: E 3,438,410 k), since

n the fixed-interest securities in question have been hedged against interest risks by asset swaps. These hedging relations have been booked as a balancing unit. The effect of interest rate changes (E -94,293 k; previous year: E -64,052 k) is counterbalanced by commensurate undisclosed reserves in correspon-ding hedging transactions.

n in the case of paper with negative changes in credit spreads (E -131,791 k; previous year: E -46,730 k) to date no failure or default has occurred or is expected.

The market values shown herein are based on market prices or prices provided by brokers. In the case of secu-rities for which no active market was available (E 1,206 million), the prices were derived from comparable actively traded paper. The credit spreads resulting the-refrom were monitored by the risk control unit.

Notes26

4.4 Equity capital

The subscribed capital amounts to E 66,000,000 and is divided into 66,000 registered shares with no par value.

Under the Luxembourg Law of 10 August 1915 on com-mercial companies, the Bank must allocate every year a sum equivalent to at least 5 % of its annual net profit to a legal reserve until such time as the reserve reaches 10 % of the subscribed capital. No distribution may be made from the legal reserve. As at 30 June 2008, there was a legal reserve of E 1,830 k and free reserves of E 31,192 k.

The Bank utilises the tax-credit option for the imputa-tion of wealth tax against corporate tax, whereby five times the amount of wealth tax is deposited in a special profits reserve. No distribution of this reserve is possi-ble for five years in so far as wealth tax is no longer to be finally paid. The reserves contain E 12,640 k for imputa-tion of the wealth tax. Another corresponding alloca-tion to the reserves will be made for the 2008 financial year.

4.5 Assets deposited as security for own liabilities

Assets of a nominal value of E 665,525 k have been deposited with the Central Bank as security.

5. Notes on the off-balance-sheet items

Transactions in derivatives are effected exclusively for hedging purposes as part of the Bank's assets/liabilities management on the OTC market. No trading operations involving derivatives were conducted. The Bank has, in principle, entered into netting agreements with its trad-ing partners in the derivatives business with a view to reducing risks.

During the period under review, the Bank included, as cover, interest-rate and currency swaps amounting to E 159 million. It has entered into contractual agreements with the counterparties concerned to provide for the duties of information and other cooperation obligations. The procedure has been approved by the supervisory authority and the trustee.

At 30 June 2008, the nominal volume of outstanding off-balance-sheet transactions was E 9,260 million, of which E 5,010 million involved affiliated companies. The address risk arising from derivatives was deter-

mined, inter alia, on the basis of the gross replacement costs. These are calculated as the sum of all positive market values, not taking netting agreements into account. At 30 June 2008, the address risk thus defined (maximum risk of default) was E 246 million, or 2.7 % of the outstanding nominal volume. After netting agree-ments are taken into account, the address risk is reduced to E 241 million.

If, in accordance with banking supervisory criteria, add-ons and also risk weightings are taken into account for potential future risk, there is an address risk on the basis of the market-value method of E 48 million as at 30 June 2008. HPBI shall also in the future pay strict attention to ensuring that the counterparty risk is kept within tight confines through active management. Counterparties in the derivatives business are solely OECD banks.
